Residential plumbing systems service household or duplex plumbing issues, including drain issues, sewer backup, leaking faucets, or faulty water heaters. Residential is classified as anything pertaining to a home, duplex, or condo building of four units or less.

Light commercial or commercial buildings include apartments, duplexes, condo setups, and business buildings of more than four units located in the same building structure. These establishments have larger water system boilers and more complex interconnected piping.

Industrial plumbing systems deal with factories, farms, manufacturing plants, and other similar production sites. The piping here could be more extensive and will have different regulated water pressure settings and sewage handling rules.

Municipal water systems are similar, but the piping surrounds city or state-owned properties like parks, pools, well pump systems, sewage plants, and other similar structures. Here problems may include street drainage issues, pump failure, and consulting on materials needed for repairs.
